BackStab: New Xperia Play-Exclusive Announced by Gameloft

Earlier on today we provided our readers with information on the pricing of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play games, as well as a reminder of what games will come pre-installed with the much-anticipated device. We now have news of another Xperia Play-exclusive title.

Video game developer Gameloft – known for creating mobile games that are clones of other titles – has just announced a new game for the upcoming device called BackStab, which according to a recent article by Will Wilson at pocketgamer.co.uk was teased just last week.

The BackStab game – which is a free-roaming action-adventure set in the 18th century – places gamers in the boots of Henry Blake, who is wrongly accused of treason and is out looking for justice. Gameloft promises that the game features a dynamic combat system that involves counter-attacks etc.

BackStab will also feature side quests and diversion from the game’s main story, including races and duels. The upcoming game will only be an Xperia Play-exclusive for one month, and then it will become available for other mobile gamers.

Although we don’t know a specific release date, we do know that it will be arriving sometime in the spring for an undisclosed price. Is this a game that interests you?
